Words can not express how happy i am at this gym. when you have instructors, coaches and senior adults helping each other that speaks for it self. everyone cares for each other and is always there for you when you need that extra push. the kids are also catching on what they see from the adults and are following in their footsteps. they to like to help and give knowledge to others.
Come and check them out.
they moved to a new location.

I was just visiting the gym. Everyone was very welcoming and the instruction was a solid series of leg locks. Good amount of time for open rolling after as well. If I lived in the area I would strongly consider it.

This gym is a joke. Of all the other gyms in the area, this is by far the worst, there is no high level guys to train with. So what's the point?

Teaching martial arts is just a portion of what this teaching team cares about. They care about building character, support each other like a family, and serve the community.

Not enough supervision for the amount of children in the gym. Safety is a major concern. Look elsewhere!

This studio was in a cold dark basement and not very inviting or friendly. They were too competitive and not welcoming to beginner children.

i checked out this dojo but was not impresed.the instructors don't have many or any professional accomplishments. i was surprised to learn they don't have any direct lineage to gracie or its affiliation. it might be okay for kids but not for adults with any knowledge of martial arts. i will look elsewhere

I had been to several other schools in Kenosha but them mostly MMA based with some not so friendly tpes. Thats ok, that's their "thing". Gracie Barra Veneration has great instruction, great atmosphere, and my kids love it. They are best in town!
I always felt out if place the ju jitsu instructior was very touchy fealy, touching my hair, trys to kiss me. .. long story short it was very ocward along with him favoring certin students
